iRedMail uses MD5/SSHA password hashes, but it supports plain password too, so you can migrate plain password from old server - if you want to.
Reference: http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php? … ord.hashes
To migrate them would be great too, even though due to security issues they need to be changed anyway, but unfortunatelly they are in {SHA1}.
By the way - is there a way to block certain users from retrieving mail via pop3 and imply users to change the passwords in Iredmail (open or pro)? [less important but might be usefull - scripting to do that once a month etc.]

First of all, i personally suggest you migrate old server to the new one.
To achieve this goal, you can try below steps:
*) Create a new mail user on new server. e.g. catch-all@domain.ltd
*) Assign catch-all@domain.ltd as the catch-all account of your domain. So that all emails sent to non-existing mail users will be delivered to catch-all@domain.ltd.
*) Here comes the most important one: Set per-user transport of catch-all@domain.ltd to your old server. For example: smtp:[IP_of_old_server]:25
That's all.
I will try that. that would be great if it worked.
Since you're so kind I will show you the entire mess I am in :-) Currently the old server (based debian etch!):
postfix users.conf
OLD_USER@example.com.pl:{SHA1}2fac929f2d58ded733ea9f8a312bd54532b36667:107:8:OLD_USER:/vmail//OLD_USER
+ mysql used by dovecot
"2842":"OLD_USER":"2fac929f2d58ded733ea9f8a312bd54532b36667":"2014-02-18 09:17:32"::::"\00"
The mysql part with date/time created might be usefull to create new vmail folders.
Nevertheless I would have trasform almost ~2'500 users in that format + 500 new users from an excel sheet to the ldif format:

Do you have any hints how to upload the old users? The folders probably would stay the oldstyle path/name since I will need to move the maildir too. But how to create a/m ldif template?
By any chance you have a reliable iredmail-mysql-TO-iredmail-ldap migrate tool?
It would be easier I think to get it working in mysql I think :-)
AFAIK, we will buy the IRedMail-Pro this week, and since we still didn't migrate, I think it would be better to start the process with the PRO version instead of upgrading it from opensource? or it makes totally no difference.
------------------------
Update 14/04/01
I'm getting through with the ldif template by means of excel and bash. I have to pass the {SHA1} problem though. Is it possible to use different types of hashing for each user (in my case the imported and the future to be created or it has to be only 1 of them?
